English term or phrase: self-motivation
I am reviewing a text that has already been translated.
Self motivation has been translated as auto motivacion

(sorry I don't know how to put the accents here)

but I think it should be automotivacion.

help please!
Elena
automotivación
Explanation:
Yes, it would be better if you write it as just one single word. If you look for it on the Web, it appears more than 900 times as one word, and about 150 as two words.

Hope it helps.

Greetings,

Automotivación


Explanation:
I've seen it written together: automotivación and written as two words auto motivación

In my case I would write it as one word.

The accent in the last "o"
